Shipyard on Carrier

[KingDrax]

My Carrier has a shipyard, which I fitted when I first bought the Carrier a couple of years ago, so that I can manage my fleet.

At least that's how I thought it worked at the time.

My question is this: Is it possible to manage one's fleet (switch ships and whatnot) and even call for distant ships of my fleet to be transferred to the Carrier, without actually having a Shipyard aboard?

In other words, is the Shipyard module only really for buying and selling ships?

And what about for Squadron mates; can they store ships at my Carrier like they could at any Station, and can they do that without the Shipyard module being installed?

I'm just wanting to free up the space taken up by the Shipyard, if possible, but without losing Carrier functionality.

The shipyard lets you stock ships for sale and allows other players to store their ships on your carrier. Without the shipyard module you (as the owner) can still store and swap ships, other players cannot. You will only be able to do it from the ship-based menu though; without the module installed there is no access to the shipyard while disembarked, even for the owner.
